PLIF Spine Surgery

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a spinal fusion procedure performed through a posterior (back) approach, in which a damaged lumbar disc is removed and replaced with a bone graft or implant to fuse the surrounding vertebrae and stabilize the spine. The procedure is designed to relieve chronic lower back pain and neurological symptoms caused by disc degeneration, herniation, or spinal instability. At Interventional Spine & Surgery Group, our surgeons perform PLIF as part of a broad range of advanced spinal surgical options, tailored to each patient’s specific anatomy and clinical needs.
